EFCC vs Adeleke: Tinubu behind masquerade troubling Osun – Atiku’s aide
The Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarenwaju, on Thursday insisted that President Bola Tinubu is the man behind the masquerade troubling Osun State.
Olarenwaju, however, noted that Adeleke is not bold enough to identify Tinubu as the troubler of the state.
His comment comes amid the controversy between the Osun State government and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over frozen bank accounts.
EFCC had claimed that it’s action was not targeted at anybody, stressing that some of the bank accounts were frozen to avoid the diversion of funds.
However, Olarenwaju posted on X: “Tinubu is the man behind the masquerade troubling Osun State and if Gov. Adeleke is not bold enough to name him, he should avoid any public genuflection or kowtowing to him until elections are done and the will of the peoples of Osun prevails against APC next Saturday.
“Public proof that EFCC continues to act at the discretion and direction of Bola Tinubu, and may in future be used at will against opposition leaders.
“This is consistent with Tinubu’s “all is fair in politics” assertion, but inconsistent with democratic norms.”

A Chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Buba Galadima, has said that Nigerians must come together and vote out president Bola Tinubu.
This was as he alleged that Tinubu is making things difficult for other political parties to produce candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He spoke during the inauguration of the NDC National Reconciliation Committee set up to resolve post-primary election disputes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He further stated that the Electoral Act was designed and perfected by President Tinubu even before it was taken to the National Assembly.
“Tinubu is only protecting himself and the APC and making it difficult for other parties to produce candidates.
“The president is not thinking of a contest with anybody, but we won’t allow it. Even if it’s an empty coffin, all Nigerians must come together and throw him out for the sake of this country,” he said.

A chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Buba Galadima, has disclosed why Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, does not want to join the NDC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the inauguration of the reconciliation committee of the NDC, Galadima said the governor was advised not to move to a party with a strong presidential candidate.
He, however, said the governor is sitting on the political fence, stressing that he may work for the NDC or President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
“President Tinubu has 34 and a half governors. The only governor that is not with him is Seyi Makinde of Oyo State. Alex Otti of Abia State is there. Forget about that.
“The half is Governor Bala Mohammed. We met with him until 3am, and he was supposed to defect the next day, but he called us in the morning saying he has changed his mind because he was advised not to move to a party with a strong presidential candidate.
“Bala Mohammed is on the fence. He may work with us, or he may work with President Tinubu,” he said.
